ELI5: The apparent rise in autistic people in the last 40 years

I'm curious as to the seeming rise of autistic humans in the last decades.

Is it that it was just not understood and therefore not diagnosed/reported?

Are there environmental or even societal factors that have corresponded to this increase in cases?

You’re describing “atypical” autism, basically just means you’re really different.
